How often do you let other people's nonsense change your mood? Do you let a bad driver，impolite waiter，rude boss，or an insensitive employee
36 your day?
One day I was in a taxi and we headed
37 the airport．We were driving in the
38 lane when suddenly a black car drove out of a parking space right in front of us．My taxi driver slammed on his
39 ，slid sideways，and at the very last moment our car stopped and
40 the other car by just inches!The driver of the other car looked around and started
41 at us．
My taxi driver just
42 and waved at the guy．And I mean he was really
43 ．So I asked，“Why did you just do that?This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!”This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call“The Law of the Garbage Truck”．
He explained that many people are like garbage trucks．They run around full of
44 ，full of frustration，full of anger，and full of disappointment．As their garbage
45 up，they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on
46 ．Don't take it personally；Just smile, wave，wish them well，and move on．
Believe me．You'll be
47 ．Don't take their garbage and
48 it to other people at work, at home，or on the streets．Life's too short to wake up in he morning with
49 . The mark of your success is how quickly you can refocus on what's
50 in your life，Roy Baumeister，a psychology researcher from Florida State University，found in his extensive research that you
5l bad things more ofter than good things in your life，you store the bad memories more easily，and you
52 them more frequently．
Therefore，love the people who treat you right and ignore the ones who don't．Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you
53 it!
When you follow“The Law of the Garbage Truck”, you take back control of your life! You make room for the good by
54 go of the bad．Have a marvelous，garbage-free day! The seeds you plant today
55 the harvest you will reap tomorrow．
